Maize farmers fail to recover cost as prices plummet amid ethanol rush

NEW DELHI: CONTRARY to the governments claim of transforming farmers from food providers to energy providers, Indias ethanol production, particularly from maize farmers, is creating a crisis situation for farmers. The price of maize has dropped to nearly half of the fixed minimum support price (MSP), while the production cost of ethanol remains significantly higher than the established base price. Ramapal Jat, president of the farmers organisation Kisan Mahapanchayat, highlighted the difficulties faced by maize farmers in the country. He explained that the price of maize has plummeted due to speculation regarding cheaper imports from the US, allowing ethanol manufacturers to profit significantly. The market price of maize has dropped to around Rs 900, which is well below both the MSP and the production cost, he stated. The government has set the MSP for maize at Rs 2,400 per quintal. One of Indias largest maize markets, the Nasrullaganj maize mandi in Madhya Pradesh, reported a price of Rs 1,121 per quintal, while Nahargadh mandi in Rajasthan recorded Rs 1,100 per quintal. In Bihar, which is the third-largest producer of maize after Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, the price reported was as low as Rs 900 per quintal. However, the governments estimated production cost for a quintal of maize is Rs 1,952. The benefits of ethanol production are being directly transferred to 779 industries, leaving farmers at the mercy of the market, Jat said. In the current market season of 202526, the government has announced plans to procure 1,048 crore litres of ethanol for blending with petrol in an 80:20 ratio, known as E20. Over 72% of this ethanol will be sourced from maize, while the remainder will come from sugar. Currently, India produces 422.81 lakh tonnes of maize across 120.17 lakh hectares, which accounts for three per cent of global production, while the US contributes 35 per cent of the total output. There are widespread market speculations that similar to cotton, India may permit the import of cheap maize from the US, contributing to the price drop. Industries are taking advantage of the low prices to produce cheaper ethanol from maize and sell it to the government, Jat remarked. According to calculations by Kisan Mahapanchayat, the price of ethanol would be Rs 54.52 per litre based on a maximum maize price of Rs 1,821 per quintal. Caught in the Maze Price Crash Maize has come down to Rs 1,121 per quintal in Nasrullaganj maize mandi in Madhya Pradesh, Rs 1,100 per quintal in Nahargadh mandi in Rajasthan, and as low as Rs 900 per quintal in Bihar Elusive MSP The government has set MSP for maize at Rs 2,400 per quintal, which is not realised in most mandis Cost Mismatch Officials estimate the production cost for a quintal of maize at Rs 1,952 Robust Production The country produces 422.81 lakh tonnes of maize across 120.17 lakh hectares

Krishi Mela draws 54 lakh visitors, showcases Karnatakas agricultural strength

BENGALURU: The four-day Krishi Mela concluded at the GKVK campus on Sunday, registering a total footfall of around 54 lakh and revenue of Rs 4.77 crore. Organised by the University of Agricultural Sciences, the stalls, exhibitions and demonstrations at the event attracted farmers, agriculture enthusiasts, students and the general public. The final day featured a farmer-to-farmer discussion on Indigenous Breeds and Agricultural Practices. During the valedictory ceremony, the Dr MH Marigowda National Endowment Award for Outstanding Horticultural Research, the Dr MH Marigowda State Award for Best Horticulture Farmer and the Dr R Dwarakinath State Award for Best Farmer were presented to achievers from across Karnataka. Speaking on the occasion, Agriculture Minister and UAS Bengaluru Pro-Chancellor N Cheluvarayaswamy said farmers are not just food producers but also generators of employment. He noted that the government has launched several new schemes to strengthen the farming sector and praised the Krishi Mela for enabling farmers to directly consult scientists and find solutions to their challenges. We must farm in harmony with nature. The life of environmentalist Saalumarada Thimmakka should inspire todays generation. Let us protect soil, conserve water and practice eco-friendly agriculture so that we leave behind a fertile land for the future, he said, congratulating all award recipients and those who made the event a success. Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda described Krishi Mela as a festival of science rather than just an exhibition. The smiles of farmers, active participation of women and guidance from scientists have given life to this mela. With over 750 stalls and lakhs of visitors, the event showcases the strength, potential and future of Karnatakas agriculture sector, he said. He added that the award-winning farmers would serve as role models for young cultivators and encouraged farmers to adopt the technologies demonstrated at the mela.

Smoking in public continues unabated in Bengaluru despite stricter enforcement by GBA

BENGALURU: Despite the ban, smoking in public places continues unabated. Though the Greater Bengaluru Authoritys (GBA) tobacco control cell has almost doubled its enforcement drives under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (COTPA) Act compared to previous years, the scenario on the ground continues as if there is no ban. Right from residential streets to main roads and from bus stops to markets, citizens complained that there is no check on smoking in public. Every day, from morning till late night, we see people sitting on the stairs of a building adjacent to our home and smoking. The cigarette and bidi smoke directly enter our homes. My two children are forced to be passive smokers. We reported to the local police, however, smoking continues and we are the sufferers, said a homemaker residing in Azad Nagar, who did not wish to be named. While this is the situation in residential areas, commercial areas fared even worse. There are multiple small and big offices on Cunningham Road. We see people smoking heavily round-the-clock. Given their brazen attitude, it gives the impression that the police and the GBA are hand-in-glove in permitting public smoking, said Suresh Kumar, an engineer. S J Chander, convenor of Consortium for Tobacco Free Karnataka, which is working on tobacco control in the state since 2000, said, In our country, when it comes to smoking in public places, both the educated and the uneducated behave the same. People know that they should not smoke in public, but the compulsive and addictive nature of tobacco makes it difficult to resist. Stating that the solution to public smoking must be multi-pronged, Chander said the GBA must strengthen penalisation drives and also ensure that tobacco vending is done only by licensed vendors. This way, there will be fear among vendors that if they allow their customers to smoke next to their shops, they would not only invite hefty fines, but if there are repeated violations, their vendor licence would be suspended, he added. Officials from the tobacco cell maintained that they have doubled the enforcement drives to prevent public smoking. From April 2024 to March 2025, we carried out 246 drives. For smoking in public places (Section 4 of COTPA), we collected Rs 3.54 lakh in 1,724 cases and for selling tobacco within a 100-yard radius of education institutions (Section 6 B of COTPA), we collected Rs 36,050 fine. This year, within 6 months (between April and September), we have carried out 272 drives. We found 727 people smoking in public places and collected Rs 3.47 lakh fine from them (as the fine amount has been increased).

Basavanagudis Kadalekai Parishe returns for five days, CM to inaugurate plastic-free groundnut fair

BENGALURU: The streets and bylanes of Basavanagudi are all set to come alive with stalls and decorative lights as the historic Kadalekai Parishe (groundnut fair) will kick off on Monday. The fair will be plastic-free this year, and organisers expect heavy footfall as numerous cultural programmes have been lined up for the Parishe which has been extended for five days from the usual two. As per tradition, farmers from across Karnataka and neighbouring states have arrived with their first groundnut harvest to offer at the Dodda Basavana Temple. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will inaugurate the fair in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Muzrai Minister Ramalinga Reddy. As the annual fair begins, traders around the heritage neighbourhood said the Parishe brings a mix of disruption and opportunity for local businesses. While some shops witness a brief dip in sales, most describe the festivals impact as overwhelmingly positive due to the surge in visitors exploring the narrow lanes and increased spending. Speaking to TNIE, Venkatesh of Basavanagudi Traders Association said stores dealing in plastic goods, crockery, kitchenware, ironware and fancy items report slower business during the 10-12 days of festivities, even though the government officially declared the fair for five days. Sales drop for us because vendors bring similar items to the fair. But its just once a year so we dont mind a small loss, he added. On the other hand, eateries, juice shops, bakeries, street-food vendors and restaurants see a sharp rise in customers. If business reduces on one side, it increases on the other. Footfall shoots up, and many people return later to buy after exploring the fair, he stated.

Bengalurus 90% of STPs non-functional, KSPCB seeks CMs intervention

BENGALURU: Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) Chairman PM Narendra Swamy on Sunday said that nearly 90% of Bengalurus Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) are not functioning, calling it one of the citys biggest environmental failures, which requires immediate attention. He said a multi-agency joint action team is being formed to restore the plants and curb pollution. Narendra Swamy, who is also Malavalli MLA, said the board has sought chief minister Siddaramaiahs intervention. I have already sought time with the chief minister. I want to brief him on the issues in our department. I have sent questions to all officers concerned so that replies are ready. Once presented, he will make a decision to form a joint action team that will include officials from Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), he said. Swamy said he is also considering involving the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) in the scheme. KIADB develops industrial areas, but there are no Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs). Without CETPs, where is industrial waste going, he asked. Asked if the citys STPs can take the total load, he said they are overloaded, are under-capacity, and in many cases not functioning at all. The board is planning to install CCTV cameras at every STP, connected directly to KSPCBs eight regional offices. Only then will we have control, he said. He lamented that untreated sewage is still flowing into water bodies in different parts of the city despite the board marking its 50th anniversary. He attributed lcak of enforcement to severe staff shortage. We are filling nearly 80% of current vacancies over 250 posts across all cadres, he said. On the recent closure order issued to Jollywood Studios, where Bigg Boss Kannada was being shot, for violating environmental norms, Swamy said the establishment has responded promising corrective measures. The KSPCB will still impose a hefty penalty. It be over Rs 30 crore, he said. 5 to receive eco-awards The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), marking 50 years of its establishment, will hold its Golden Jubilee valedictory celebrations in Bengaluru on November 18 and 19. Chairman PM Narendra Swamy said five individuals will receive the State-level Indira Priyadarshini Environment Award for their contributions to environmental protection. A seminar on Circular Economy and Sustainability will open the event on November 18, featuring discussions on wastewater treatment, solid waste management, e-waste, plastic waste, construction debris and extended producer responsibility. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar will inaugurate the programme. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will take part in the valedictory on November 19 at Palace Grounds. District-level awards have also been presented as part of the celebrations. Swamy said the golden jubilee aims to raise awareness about environmental laws, honour Indira Gandhis legacy, and encourage youth participation through competitions and outreach programmes.

S'win'g it girls: India's blind women's cricket team are determined to bring home a World Cup

Mahima Nagaraju Just two weeks ago, the India womens cricket team brought home the World Cup trophy in a groundbreaking moment. With the buzz from the win starting to settle, another group of women cricketers may just jolt us awake soon the India blind womens cricket team playing in the first-ever blind womens T20 World Cup. After winning their first two matches in Delhi and third in Bengaluru, the team defeated Pakistan by 8 wickets, qualifying for the semi-finals. We must definitely bring home the cup!, says captain Deepika TC, adding the India womens teams recent win acted as a great morale booster for her girls. All-rounder Kavya NR proves her right when she adds, We were so proud we felt like we ourselves had won. I have confidence that we will too because the players are among the best from different parts of the country. We also have a really good bond. Early Days Deepika, like many of the girls, started playing blind cricket at a school for the visually-impaired with much apprehension surrounding her choice. I grew up in a small town near the Andhra Pradesh border and my parents were initially worried about what others would say because Im a girl. The culture there is very different, she recalls. A turning point came after she joined the newly-minted national team in 2019, which later went on to win the World Games in 2023. My parents were confident that their daughter would achieve something. Now, as the India and Karnataka teams captain, I feel very happy, she says, beaming. Its a similar story for Kavya NR, who was blinded when playing as a five-year-old. She says, My parents were afraid that I would get hurt and worried about how I would manage until I got the National Award in 2018 for wall climbing. She started playing cricket in 2019 while studying at Samarthanam Trust. She adds, I stuck with cricket because I wanted to represent India; seeing cricketers receive Arjuna awards too inspired me. For both girls, cricket became a passion, a purpose and a way to support their families. Zeal to Succeed The team has been practising for a month leading up to the World Cup under Deepikas captainship. She was instrumental in Indias 209-run win against Australia, having scored 91 herself. She compares her style to her favourite player, Virat Kohli. On the field, Im very aggressive. I think we have that in common. Im always thinking that we should give our 100 per cent, so whenever someone misses a catch, I scold them, even the senior players, she says with a laugh. But this aggression is tempered with a democratic spirit as she adds, It requires a lot of communication to coordinate among players who have different levels of blindness. But, since most are seniors who have been captains themselves, we discuss everything before making any decision. Having three players from Karnataka is a matter of pride but also pressure for Deepika, as she says, Im always pushing them a bit more because were representing Karnataka. They are definitely putting in the effort. Kavya Venkatesh, playing internationally for the first time, says, The three of us have great coordination together. Deepika is a good player, so thats a bit of extra pressure for us, but the team and our manager support me a lot, saying, if I didnt play well today, I definitely will tomorrow. Kavya Venkatesh How does blind cricket work? Blind cricket is played in almost the same way as the regular format, with a few key differences. Players are divided into B1, B2 and B3 categories based on the extent of impairment. Bowling is always done underarm and the ball (which makes a tinkling sound) rolls towards the player without pitching. Before the ball is bowled, the batsman gets a heads-up from the keeper. All runs scored by B1 players who are completely blind get doubled in the final score. Deepika TC We were all happy when Jemimah (Rodrigues) didi scored a century. She always encourages us to play well. She and Smriti Mandhana have supported us a lot. We loved her confidence and that she proved herself, especially against a team like Australia. I hope people support us the same way and blind cricket gets added to the paralympics - thats my dream. I want everyone to be familiar with blind cricket. Deepika TC, captain
